Asset Discovery with Splunk Asset and Risk Intelligence
Splunk Asset and Risk Intelligence (ARI) continuously discovers all assets on the network using a unique approach that creates a single source of truth from multiple sources of record, resulting in comprehensive and accurate asset visibility and reporting.
Why is Asset Discovery Important?
It is estimated by Gartner that over 20% of assets on the network are typically unknown or unmanaged. This creates huge security gaps, as these assets are likely not secured with adequate controls and/or may have vulnerabilities affecting them. Even when assets are known, asset records stored in typical asset management systems are usually incomplete or inaccurate. In addition, most discovery solutions are ineffective, as they use scanners or require agents to be deployed. Scanners may not have full network coverage and agents can only be deployed to the assets you already know about.
A new approach to asset discovery is needed that helps ensure all assets on your network are known and records are accurate, such that they can be appropriately managed and secured and provide much needed context during security investigations.
Streaming Asset Discovery
Splunk ARI uses a unique continuous streaming data asset discovery approach that correlates data across multiple sources and solves the problems faced by typical asset discovery solutions. This approach allows Splunk ARI to discover and build incredibly accurate and complete records of your network assets that continually update over time.
Discover all Asset Types and Identities
Splunk ARI discovers all asset types including workstations, servers, mobiles, network devices, voip and IoT devices, along with all identities associated with these asset types. Asset and identity inventories continually update over time to ensure they always remain complete and accurate, and never go stale.
Discover Asset Associations
Splunk ARI also discovers the associated users, IPs, MACs, vulnerabilities and software associated with each discovered asset. This provides a huge amount of added context and increased security visibility into the discovered asset. These discovered associations can be interactively visualized and drilled into during security investigations.
Discover Other Insights
Splunk ARI provides visibility into other insights that have been discovered about your assets and identities. This includes insights across your cloud providers and IoT devices, discovery of default account usage and reporting on legacy operating system usage.
Customize your Asset Discovery
Need to discover different asset types or additional fields that are not out of the box? Splunk ARI lets you quickly and easily discover business-specific custom asset record fields and set your own asset types. This gives you the capability to define and capture related asset information that is directly relevant to your business. Perfect for reporting and added context.
